EU chip industry: best I can do is supply chips that are in 99% of industrial equipment and vehicles. Also supply the only machines in the world that enable leading edge lithography processes.

CXMT uses old Qimonda patents (even though Qimonda's tech is now outdated), and the former CEO of Qimonda is currently building a fab for an FeRAM-based alternative to DRAM in Magdeburg. It's a gamble as FeRAM still suffers from a more limited lifetime than conventional DRAM at this moment but I think there are still somewhat interesting developments happening in Europe.

EU: we should create a law regulating the viscosity of the glue being eaten

To be fair, all high end chips are made in Asia with EU tooling. US happens to be the place where the managers are and the trade is facilitated. There has been some good progress to push Asia make cips in USA with EU machines however IIRC significant part of the chain is still in Asia and chips made in USA are shipped to Asia for further processing.

Edit: changed China with Asia to distance the comment from Taiwan-China based politics.

Don't make me tap the sign that says "ASML".

Difference between Europe and the others is that it doesn't brag nearly as much.

HN continues its transmogrification in X.

EU bourgeoisie invests in US tech

You're forgetting about ASML, which is European and makes the actual machines to produce a huge portion of the world's high-end chips.

Aren't they the only ones able to supply the chip-making machines?
